Demand for access to fast, reliable data is driving our information economy. But as work and leisure become increasingly digitised and mobile, new risks are emerging which threaten the very information that help business and society function. By focusing on the three main areas of information assurance - confidentiality, integrity and availability - Information Security Management Principles provides business and IT managers with the skills to identify these threats and protecting against them.

Key areas covered include:
Risk management
Information security implementation
Networks and communications
Cryptography
Business continuity and disaster recovery
